I did nearly end up going in December, but luckily I shouldn't miss any action. I joked with my family and friends that I wouldn't go if I couldn't see The Hobbit. They all looked astonished until I told them I was joking! I'll be taking plenty of Tolkien books with me instead.

TORn affiliated clothing would be awesome! If only Gandalf was still doing his World Tour - riding an Elephant Seal would make for an excellent picture.
